Polis
A downloadable program for Windows and Linux
This is a procedural terrain renderer written for the Acerola Dirt Jam. Uses Vulkan, Rust and GLFW to render a perlin noise landscape with some height-based fog applied to it. The dirt jam is over but I am hoping to work on this even beyond the constraints of the competition, all of the development happens over here.
Whenever the program is started a new piece of terrain is generated.
- WASD - walk around
- Mouse - look around
- Space - go up
- Ctrl - go down
- Shift - go faster

nice cow,
I have a question can you tell me how do you like learn shader vulkan and stuff?
Because I am really interested in learning these things.
It focuses on getting a job in the field but the "i want to be a gwaphics programmer" channel in the Acerola discord has a bunch of good links for getting started with bare graphics APIs and/or with shader writing.
I probably wouldn't start with Vulkan, there is a lot of detail there that you have to manage and it takes so much before you can get anything drawing that it's easy to bounce off.
